TFie have been ! disappointed. It is with great reluoUnce we again come before you. Nothing but a sense of duty ceuld induce us to do It. But we cannot resist the cries-of this suffering poor, with whom we are in daily contact. It would be mnch easier to put our hand In our own pockets, to relieve their necessities, if we had it, than to.ask othen for the means to enable us to carry on our work, by love. But God has given you the means; and to us, the duty of asking you for aid... We have met weekly in our usual place-for several weeks post, hop ing each week some one of us would havo the cheeriug news to communicate, that we had. received donations which would enable us to givo food to the hungry and clothes to the naked. Very little has come in. Our frith has been sorely : tried. ;But remembering that He who fed the hungry multitude with the five loaves and two fishes, can.so touch your hearts as to incline you te open wide your hand, and by* giving of your abundance, enable ns to carry joy and comfort to many a ohecrless hearth.- We concluded ■ that we would give out coal and shoeal ' We have been so doing; but as we always have our bills scut to us the last Thursday of every month, pay-day is here, but we hare dot enough to meet our liabilities. Dear reader, we now appeal to you for as sistance, and we trust our appeal will not be in vain, for we X*«oro from past experience there are kind hearts in Pittsburgh and Alle gheny, who, with ready hands, will aid us in our work of love. Oh, eould you witness the scenes that daily meetour view of heart-rend ing destitution, you could find no pleasure, surrounded by your loved ones, by your own warm Preside, until, you first , sent of your means to procure like comforts to the suffering poor. The diy after we decided to give out coal, I sallied forth, for I knew bow many in my own district were in need; and now, dear reader, let me tell.you of a very few of the' many heartrending seenes that met my .view. The first I visited 4ras a widow, her own hands crippled .by rheumatism, her eldest girl unable to do anything. Far gone in con sumption, her. ion: could get no work. They, had no fuel,except a few ohips they had gath ered. on the street. The next I visited- the father (an excellent man) on his death bed with consumption, and before his eyos the wife and four little chil dren of his love, suffering for the necessaries of life. I bad beentoicLof a'woman who was in distress, for her I found another—one who hadbiever solicited charity; one who, judging from her conversation and manners, bad been accustomed to very differ ent circumstances. Her husband had been absent for some time with the army across the Potomac. The house she was in was not as comfortable as many a stable, and for it she had to pay- S 3 60 per month. She; has six children—-the oldest twelve years, the youngest bat six months. They were destitute of every thing. A few weeks since ; her husband sent her ton dollars—the most of which has heed paid for rent.; She had not made known her wants, hut had parted with one article of clothing after another, to get bread for her little oue* % They were without shoes and stocking), end barely clothing to cover their nakedness. They .were the wife and children of one who has gone to lay down, if necessary, bis Lite In behalf of his bleeding country. Will you not, my dear reader, with these facts beforo you, contribute to the ut most of your ability, to enable ue as a society to continue throughout the winter to carry on our work of lore T If joa~h»ve much, give liberally j if you have butUttle, do not refute, but give of that little.

Secretary; Cameron, at . the party, is reported to have said that “as a • last resort to put downrebelUon, vre ought to < arm every man who desires to.strike for hu man liberty/' This is not what Mr. Cam eron said. He was speaking of the power and resources of the Government to overcome the ' rebellion, declaring that it would be put down beyond all peradventure—that the great white ■ race of the North would re-establish this Government in every State of the .Union, and in the effort were, bound to. avail.themselves of every means in their power. The end was not yet, and when the last card in this game was played, 1C might be shown that the South’s : boasted source of .strength was its great ele ment of woaknesa. He.waa not for massacre, and a war upon women and children; but the slaves would be duly organized and armed, ond/governed by the rales of modern warfare, .allowed to aid in tfioi spread of human liberty-, and in crushing out this unholy rebellion/ Mr..Cameroh'a purpose seemed more to show the South’s utter inability to stand, against the North, than to present any policy of the Government, orihdeed of-any fixed purpose of his own.. Hia allusion to any slave partici pation in the war, as we ere informed by one who waa present, was only as a remote contin gency unlikely to happen, and which happen-, ing, removed all hope of ultimate success by the . rebels. Mr. Smith, another member of the cabinet, dissented from this sentiment. The Louisville Journal, Prentice's-paper of Friday last, came out in a very fierce phillip pic against the Secretary of War, and de nounced him as being Intellectually and mor ally disqualified for his position, and said the. “ time has unquestionably arrived when Mr- Cameron should be compelled to retire from the cabinet. His remaining in it longer will be a disgrace to the administration and a sore evil to the.country/' This is' certainly very , low abuso, considering that Mr. Prentice ref ceived.the remarks of Mr. Cameron, praises and all, without a murmur of dissatisfaction; If he was offended at the sentiment, no time was so appropriate to object to it as at this 'social ana prirate'&seembl&ge, where the sen timents uttered wero.of a/reerand less guard ed character than they would be in a public eet speech, and where the autbor'of them would bo at liberty to give the qualifications, which his -words undoubtedly admitted. "To make these convivial uttorances at a private party the subject for public comment’and - abuse in the newspaper, and to vulgarly assail the of ficial charscler of the Secretary of War there for, seems a most unwarrantablyabuse of hos-'- pltality and of social good breeding.—PAifa i deljihia Ledger, .... j.. The Union Movement in. East.Ten ne§see««Prospecta in East Tennes> under Martial Law •■Excitement in Chattanooga. It is reported that Parson Browclow had: left Knoxville with thirteen'guns, and wat; a sympathizer in the Union movement in that .quarter. The town of Knoxville ie under martial law.- On the night of the insurrection—last Friday—it is a&uTthaf signal rockets were fired all over the moun tains, and about the same time an effort was made to burn all the ) bridges. Six of the men engaged in -the: ,attempt to burn the Strawberry Plains bridge, atad who afterwards attempted to mnrderthewatch man, have been arrested, brought to Knox ville, and identified by. that gentleman. . The Union men at and around Cattanoo ga have-threatened to bum the bank, the tannery and the foundry—a large estab lishment which is engaged in making pow der mill 9 for Augusts, Ga., and Manches chester, Tenn,; The threat had created considerable excitementabout Chattanooga, and on 1 Tuesday ' three companies were made np to guard the town every night An old man named Cleft, ’ at, Harrison, Hamilton county, about fifteen miles from Chattanooga, was reported to have a com pany of five hundred Lincolnites around him, but it 'is thought that the report is exaggerated. A strict watch ia;kept upon his movements, and he will be prevented from doing; harm; " The Union movement it not thought to be as formidable as we had supposed; The loyal then seem to regard the late insurrec tionary movement as a malignontebullition which can be easily and will soon blow over.— Memphis Avalanche, No vember 14. The Evils or Medical Malpractice.-- "The report of the City Inspector,” says the Now-York NerdM, of the 9th of May, 1860, —“to.the Board of-Beatth which we published yesterday, reveals an alarming state of af fairs in the condition of the - public- health, showing not only an increase or 1,019, deaths within the past foarmonths over those of last - year, but a . frightful increase of mortality from scarlet ’ fever, croup, bronchitis and Sneumoriia— the increase or deaths from these iseasoa forms one-fourth of the,total. .This, fact warns ua'.of the necessity existing for somo means of protection against unskilled and half-educated physicians. The pablio are thus constantly exposed to malpractice at -the hands of ignorant men, who follow the profession merely ,as a. meant -of .making money,'without the ambition or . the Qualifica tions which pertain-to the educated practi tioner.” ' How widely difiereut have been the results in the above disorders from those who have used Holloway's Pills and Ointment is manifest by the fact that not a single cafe of death occurred wherever the Pills and Olnt- I ment had been taken in time; - Thousands of mothers owe adebt of gratitude, to'Dr. Hol loway for being: the meanaof saving the lives of their.darlings.
